hello,
i startet with 25$ at an ongame network... they offer some kind of lottery... the coinflips..( of 2 or more players) if you buy in to a heads up coinflip you go allin with your 1 chip and see how it flips.. if you win ok.. but if you loose .. hm bad my thinking: to play like the public roulette-strategy of black/red to step up 1 buy in... i tried it.. and starting at 50cent+rake it works.. no skill no poker just luck... i lost and went up.. and then at 10$ i hit and was 1.50$ ahead.. ( rake to be deducted...!!) but if you do it often you go up and up and i think.. why to waste time at sng or things... just flip and see...and it works... i look at sharkscope.. and wow..
ok this is not me.. i like poker and want "work" for my money but ongame offers an easy way to get some bucks..

It's just like playing red/black on roulette.
On roulette you have pot odds of 50% but a winning percentage of only 47%(because there's also green 0 and 00). Here you got 50% winning chances but you put in more than 50% of the pot because of the rake. Let's say you put 6$ and win 11$, that's 54% pot odds. In both cases you are offered smaller winning chances than pot odds which means long term loss.
